After over Forty Years' trial it is still re ceiving the most unqualified testimonials to its virtues from persons of the highest char acter and responsibility. Eminent physicians commend it as the most EFFECTUAL SPECIFIC For all diseases ol the Liver, Stomach and Spleen. The SYMPTOMS of Liver Complaint are a bitter or bad taste ia the mouth ; Tain iu the Back, 8ides or Joints, often mistaken for Rheumatism; Sour Stomach; Loss of Apep tite ; Bowels alternately costive and lax ; Headache : Loss of memory, with a painful sensation of having failed to do something which ought to have been done ; Debility, Low Spirits, a thick yellow appearance of the Bkln ana JSyes, a dry uougn koiten mistaken for Consumption. Sometimes many of these symptoms attend the disease, at others very few ; but the Liver, the largest organ in the body, is generally the seat of the disease, and if not Regulated in time, great suffering, wretchedness and Death will ensue.

The Reason Why LAZARUS & MORRIS' Celebrated Perfected Spectacles and Eye Glasses. Have met with such extraordinary success and are so much in demand is because they are found to possess all the qualities we claim tor tneni, viz j Turity and hardness of material (therefore not liable to scratch), brilliancy of finish, strengthening and preserving power, and conferring an amount of ease and comfort attained by no other Glasses in the worli. They are without doubt the most perfect and scienuncaiiy accurate senses ever manufac tured, and last many years without change. c ur erne iu uus lucaiuy oniy Dy JAMES H.

'Does your company pay its losses promptly ?' 'ies, sir ; yes sir. It you were insured with me, and you should die to-night, I'd hand your wife a check within a week.' 'Couldn't ask for anything better than that.' 'No, sir : no sir. The motto of our company is : rrompt pay and honorable dealing.'

The demand for these potent sub stances may be prompted to relieve the excitement and depression which have pervaded all grades of society for several years past. Arctic exs plorers affirm that tea or coffee wil support the bodies of men under great or little tailzie inhnitely be yond whisky, wine, or cider, and Dr. Dunglison states in his work on Materia Medica that less than a drachm of tobacco has proved fatal, yet the chewer, smoker, or dipper of snutt will use treble the quantity. It the youths of America need proo of the injurious effects either of to bacco or strong drink, let them turn to the statistics of hospitals for the insane and incurables, and they wil be amply satisfied : and if collegians they will find from the last report of the Polytechnic School in Paris that the smokers in the various competitive examinations were far inferior to the non-smokers.
